PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL
DP4 MVP Development & Seed Fundraising Support
A strategic Fractional Venture Partners engagement to design, build, and launch DP4's AI-enabled storytelling platform for children with autism. Our core team orchestrates world-class specialists—including co-Executive Producers from Paia Studio and Squid Design—to accelerate MVP delivery, coordinate advisory efforts, and support investor momentum.
Executive Summary
We've built the foundation—business model, pitch deck, MVP strategy, and begun assembling a world-class advisory board. Now it's time to bring DP4 to life.
In just 8 weeks, we'll transform your vision into a production-ready MVP—a web-based AI storytelling platform that bridges therapy and daily life for children with autism. Parents will interact with an intelligent agent to generate personalized social stories that help their children understand emotions, navigate social situations, and build essential life skills.
This isn't just a prototype. It's an investor-ready demonstration of DP4's transformative potential, built by our trusted technical partner Andre Vlok of Paia, designed to capture attention and open doors.

What's Included in Base MVP
Equity Partnership
In addition to the cash investment above, Fractional Venture Partners will take a 5% vesting equity stake in DP4, aligning our success directly with yours. This equity position begins vesting at the start of this engagement and vests over one year.
Why this structure benefits you: A typical engagement of this scope and depth—including strategic oversight, technical development, design, advisory coordination, and comprehensive fundraising support—would command $85,000-$100,000 in pure services fees. By taking equity, we're reducing your immediate cash outlay by roughly 30% while demonstrating our conviction in DP4's potential.
Vesting Terms: The 5% equity stake vests monthly over 12 months, beginning on the engagement start date. This structure ensures alignment throughout the critical first year and reflects our commitment to DP4's success beyond the initial MVP.
